Yoda,

Yours was the 545th K75S ever built IF they ran the US Spec bikes down the line AFTER your bike on May 15.

IF they ran the US bikes BEFORE your bike on May 15, then your bike is the 598th K75S ever built.

Non US spec Ss are numbered sequentially starting with 0101001.

US spec Ss are numbered sequentially starting with 0150001.

Holy Crap Man, you need to live in Canada where your time can be used up with things like snow-blowing, fixing your snow-blower, looking to buy a new snow-blower, fixing the neighbours new snow-blower or using you snow-blower to get from your house to your shop so you can have a beer and watch hockey.

This is just too freaking awesome for me. I am now going to mourn the Ducks and have another beer and wonder, "Do I have enough gas in my snow-blower?"

Curious about one of these

Does anyone out there have 150085, by chance?
Traded it in to Foothills BMW in Denver back around 1998.
